DOI: 10.1558/equinox.32030

Blurb:

This paper discusses the development of a particular form of conversion narrative in Late Antiquity. It focuses on the Life of Porphyry of Gaza by Mark the Deacon (BHG 1570) that offers an interesting case to look into the conversion of pagan space into Christian space, as an attempt to legitimate history.
